In fact you can, and for high scalability needs it's actually
recommended that you run Jackrabbit locally on each cluster node. To
do this you simply need to configure Jackrabbit as a cluster. See
http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/Clustering for the details.

RMI access is notably slower than local access, so I wouldn't
recommend it for performance-sensitive deployments.

The pre-built jackrabbit-jcr-rmi jar can be found on the central Maven
repository. Or you can pick it from within WEB-INF/lib of the
jackrabbit-webapp war file.
